in such a way that a ﻿maximum benefit﻿ is derived from available resources.

﻿﻿ARK AID Assistance﻿﻿is not just another aid organization. It does not actively raise funds. It does not keep assets. It does not make money in the gift giving process. It simply facilitates your giving by passing on 100% of donations to designated projects or partners, generally with the purpose that tax benefits are made possible which would otherwise not apply. ARK AID Assistance is a subsidiary of Association ARK AID which is a gift giving facilitator and watchdog of Christian charities involved in the alleviation of poverty

1. Ark Aid Assistance is a ﻿Christian﻿organization:Ark Aid is founded on biblical principals defined from a Reformed and Evangelical perspective.Ark Aid believes that such a foundation best guarantees sustained structural relief and improvement. Ark Aid believes that all of life must be infused with Christian values and that, therefore, aid may be directed to the improvement of all areas of life.Ark Aid only supports partners that are dedicated to the giving of an explicit Christian witness. All projects have the higher purpose of giving glory to God.Ark Aid aims to serve other partners by supplying a platform for the possibility of public awareness, free web space, tax benefits, etc.

2. Ark Aid Assistance gives support in the context of extreme poverty:Ark Aid believes that there ought to be a priority in the giving of aid were the need is the greatest; and that this be done with no regard to the recipients creed, race, colour, age, sex, political preference, or geographical situation. Ark Aid Foundation believes that good should be done to all men, but especially to those of the household of faith. (Gal. 6:10)

3. Ark Aid Assistance seeks to obtain the greatest benefitfrom resources for all concerned: This is done by:

guaranteeing that 100% of donations go to the cause for which they are given; Ark Aid adds 2% to all donations to cover bank costs.

guaranteeing satisfaction; if you are not satisfied with what has been done with your donation (within the first year) then Ark Aid will refund your donation (to a maximum of € 5000,-), no questions asked.

attempting to duplicate donations by way of government and non-governmental organizations so that double the amount of donations goes to the cause for which they are given;

advising partners of the possibilities and manner of duplication;

guaranteeing that there are no overhead costs deducted from donations (all such costs are carried by members of the board of trustees-all positions are voluntary and there are no costs for buildings, office equipment, etc.);

being very critical with regard to all partners that they share a similar purpose to that of Ark Aid Foundation. These partners are for the most part small organizations with little or no overhead.
